file picked up before fully downloaded.

file picked up before fully downloaded.

I have Process-A which drops the files txt files to a directory. There is a scheduled task setup to execute WinSCP FTP file transfer every 5 mins.

Problem: it so happens once in a while there is an overlap the moment file is dropped and at the same time the task kicking in which seems to pick up the partial txt file and perform the FTP transfer. How to prevent the partial file transfer?

WinSCP 5.11.3

I did look into the documentation but not sure which feature I can use to restrict it.

Re: file picked up before fully downloaded.

You might check out disabling transfer resume - I'm looking for a solution to this on a Session level, not at the root Preferences level for the entire application. See: https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_pref_resume

Hi Martin,
My current ver. 5.11.3; will upgrade have any issues with the existing simple command line scripts? Just wanted to make sure.. and I should be able to use the Help->check for upgrades and update it directly which will keep all my settings? Let me know thanks ! Sai.
